My Universities

Style and Technique

In «My Universities», Maxim Gorky employs an autobiographical style, lending sincerity and authenticity to the narrative. The language is rich with vivid, lively descriptions that help the reader immerse themselves in the time and place of the action. Literary techniques include the use of dialogues, internal monologues, and detailed descriptions, which aid in revealing the characters and their inner worlds. The narrative structure is non-linear, allowing the author to freely move between different periods of his life, creating a comprehensive picture of his development as a person and writer. Gorky also uses symbolism and metaphors to convey deep philosophical and social ideas, making the work multi-layered and rich in meaning.
